Corrected.

@OP: You need to learn at _least_ one programming language inside and out before moving to another. Once you've more or less mastered one language, you'll be able to pick up others quicker, and understand their concepts quicker.

Knowing a programming language helps you understand how other programs work, and thus how to break other programs.
